Things moving along slowly here due to various travel “obligations” and straight up paralysis in the small decision making dept.
I decided to learn how to shingle. Eastern white is a bit overpriced on the East Coast so I paid a little more per bundle for premium Alaskan Yellow Cedar.
Interior. Not much progress to report here. The carpenter is AWOL with shingles.
I wanted to showcase some part of CNC process so I used the exterior of the door to work with the cool Advantech X-Factor yellow. Saturated exterior with West System and a UV coat of Epifanes Boat Varnish.
Wired some 12 volt DC for lights.
Tempered IG panels framed out in rough opening. Sealed with Buytl tape and polurethane SIKA. Inside pine treated with semi-permeable OSMO – a pretty low-key non-toxic finish to add a little waterproofing for condensation.
Since technically I have a cathedral ceiling, I decided to vented the roof deck to prevent any condensation buildup. I used battens instead of cedar breather. Breaths out/in through ridge and under rake/fascia.
Flashing chimney was rather tricky because the pitch is not that steep.
Roof ridge epoxied and fiberglassed with 8 oz tape along top. Copper caps to cover screws bolting it down.
Discovered that the National Parks Font is downloadable.
Some of my favorite chems for exterior. Particularly in love with Kirby Yacht Enamel made from pure ingredients and a real pleasure to apply. The matte finish is forgiving in my rather dusty environment with trees and pollen.
